Each session also features speakers on recruitment and academics. All
players also receive mini-clinics. There are mini-clinics for guards, big

junior and senior divisions will compete in a single elimination tournament.
All games are played full-court in Alumni Gym and the intramural complex.
All players receive equal playing time as substitutions are done by the

This is just a partial list of players making favorable

week.

Conclusion

This was my eighteenth year attending the camp and I continue to be impressed
with the involvement and work ethics of the camp director. He has a very
“hands-on” approach and observes each player’s performance at least once
daily. While talent levels may vary slightly from camp to camp, the
players have ample opportunity to display their abilities, and there are always
some previously undiscovered gems.

The strengths of this camp should start with the aforementioned work ethics
of the camp director. He makes everyone feel welcome and provides the
official camp programs, all-star game rosters, and the list of award
winners. Another, and I believe, very important, strength of this camp is
the presence of certified trainers. Injures are evaluated and treated
immediately with doctors being on call at all times. This camp also has a
tremendous up-side for players who have either not had the exposure or are late
bloomers.
